When I make a bowl many times try as I might I'll find a small bump inside the bowl, typically about half way down. When it's on the lathe I'm sure it's fine only to find when I take it off and finish it, there it is. I use a negative rake scraper and sand of course. I've even found a small bump that was only on one side of the bowl and didn't go all the way around. I suppose end grain vs cross grain or possibly rot?
Point of information: I have arthritis so most of my work is done while seated so the swing your hips is a wish for me. My cuts are not smooth but I try to remediate with the NRS and sanding.
